Dear All,
In the recent times, we are getting more enquiries from technical institutions
to implement open source lab and we also have setup many open source labs in
these institutions across Tamilnadu (Now, Polytechnics were also showing more
interest in having Open Source labs and we already have setup in 2 Polytechnics
running successfully)
Now, LinuXpert Systems has been taking initiative to setup open source labs in
about 1500+ Technical Institutions (Polytechnics, Arts & Science Colleges,
Engineering Colleges, Universities) across Tamilnadu (for the first time, the
foss lab setup would be done at free of cost).
The main objective behind this initiative is to successfully implement and
support for FOSS enabled Technical / Engineering education in Tamilnadu
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 By 2012, all Technical / Engineering Institutions should feel comfortable
using / training their students on Free / Open Source Softwares
 To provide complete alternative FOSS solution for every Proprietary Software
used in education
 Encouraging students/staffs members to get participated in FOSS development
 Interacting with College/Institution Management for successful
implementation of FOSS throughout the institution (not limiting to CSE/IT dept
anymore)
In this regard, we are looking for volunteers to support our initiative in
setting up of FOSS Labs (preferably freshers, who might be looking for
experience in FOSS) and also everyone's feedback.
Regards
S. Baskar
CEO/LinuXpert Systems
